Do we sell out Ray Jay with mainly Bulls fans before getting an OCS?

L'ville students find their way to Yom center for basketball just fine.

Might have something to do with the product. All I'm saying is that in a vacuum, I think it would be easier for students to come to a game on campus than off. If you give them a reason to go off campus, they will.

You are obviously right. I'm just pointing out that you need to have a good product.

Using no data, I would argue that it is easier to get students into a stadium on campus than it is off campus.

NC State does pretty well with an off-campus stadium. They have large buses running from campus to the stadium.

It only makes it easier to get students living in the residence halls into a stadium... All of the other students who live off campus - which is the vast majority - still have to get into a car and drive to the game.  Unless you are arguing there is any difference between driving 2-5 miles versus 10-12 miles?

Quality of the product is the SOLE determiner of sold out stadiums. 

UCF went 0-17 with an OCS... and students didn't go to games.

That is the article for the Montana game two weeks ago.  The photos were from yesterday.

...... I guess my only kind of saving grace is that yesterday was against Arkansas State, so at least similar opponents.

Again, last night felt like USF was a red headed step child in it’s supposed home stadium.  Bucs play today so no signage in the end zones and a white washed out iconic U at midfield.  Ray Jay as a stadium is fine, however, as a home field for the Bulls, it blows!  Please will weatherford get this OCS done!

I will argue that, 2-5 miles in NC vastly different then the 11 mike trek down Fowler, 275.  Either way like Many have stated, we feel like visitors at home, need an OCS but more than anything we need an FBS team, we really don’t have that now from what I can tell.

Would like to the stadium when SC or another conference teams comes in.
